But at the end of the day, if a hacker or someone else wants to get our information it's not hard. This jerk could've gotten your plate numbers while you were out riding around at a rally or anywhere. Granted showing your plates on social media platforms exposes the information to millions more people than when you're out and about but it can still happen either way. All we can do, as you said, is protect our information and Families as best as we can. Keep riding safe Brother!

My nephew is from Kentucky. He bought a new bike while he was on vacation in Florida. Eight months goes by. He gets arrested in Kentucky because there was a warrant for his arrest. He sold his bike to a dealer and bought a new bike. Somehow somebody took his plate from his Bike soul and ran through tolls and got tickets was like $1000 to get a lawyer and fight it and he finally won the case, but it was a big headache for like 2 1/2 months

Because now people are going to see this video and potentially whoever did this look back and see if there’s any more plates that they can get. This happened to me when I was at Fort Knox multiple times. I was arrested at gunpoint because somebody had the same vehicle description and plate. Really rough time not to mention. They also had something from my hometown state and the military base I was arrested by the MPs. It was a never-ending story for almost 2 years.

A few years back someone stole my license plate from my motorcycle and I went to the Police Station to file a report and the Officer told me it was happening back then. I took the paperwork from the Police Station and went to my RMV and they cancelled the old plate and I had to pay $20 to get another plate and Registration and $15 for Inspection sticker,So $35 to square things away I also notified my Insurance company. In Mass our plate has the Inspection Sticker on it as well so when a thief steals it they get the plate and Inspection Sticker Glad you got new plates. Steve from Boston

John, I can tell you a few stories about registration plates. Maybe at a B&B. I have been having issues with EZ-Pass on my Street Glide. I mount it on the handle bar and had no trouble when it was on my Heritage. For some reason, the gantries are not reading it on the same place on the Street Guide. Not that it will break the bank, but MD tolls are supposed to be less than cars, but only if the gantry reads the EZ-Pass on the bike. I have noticed that when I ride with guys in NY, usually cops, they have their plates covered. You have explained why. Hopefully your video will be a benefit to guys who don't know about the scams.

I get you want to give a broad background but…anyone who doesn’t know about speed cameras and red light cameras in this day and time must be stupid or living under a rock for the last 10 years. These cameras are literally, everywhere. So, no need for an explanation. Having said that, I’m retired LEO 32 1/2 years on the job. These cameras are nothing more than a tax. They, the government, changed the laws to make the cameras legal. In the past a VTL (vehicle and traffic law) had to be witnessed by a sworn LEO. That LEO would testify in court that you were in fact the operator based on his investigation which included comparing your license pic to you the driver. That step was 100% necessary for a conviction on speed or passing a red TSL. These cameras are nothing more than a criminal enterprise by our government. Further, ghost plates, fake plates, altered plates are very common now. It’s up to all of us to be vigilant when getting these tickets. We also need to start petitioning our law makers to abolish these cameras. They are unconstitutional. The more we are silent, the more the government will impose on us. NYC and California are testing a program that will have all new cars equipped from the factory with onboard speed monitoring and limiting. You will now actually General the ticket yourself. They say it’s about safety. But that is an outright lie. It’s about the money. These cameras generate billions for the municipalities that has them and the maker and caretaker of these systems. George Orwell’s 1984 is here. Right now! Read the book and tell me I’m wrong. Scary.

I had to hound NC Pass multiple times telling them its not us on the toll road until they finally put our plate into a restricted status where no matter what our name/plate would not come up.
